Hi! With Diabolical Plots opening in mere hours we would like to point out that we have updated the AI Policy section in our guideline to add commitments that Diabolical Plots will not use generative AI for anything including selection, editing, correspondence, artwork, etc.
Thanks to David for calling this out. I was tentatively hopeful when Must Read bought up the big SFF print magazines, but I won't be submitting my work to a machine built to exploit writers who don't have the toolset to spot the problems in contracts like these.
The Strange Horizons fund-drive has been a little stuck between the 14K and 15K mark for the last week; and with 11 days to go, we could use some help — whether it is through donations or amplification. And a lot of excellent rewards still available!

I wrote a rather bleak story about how caste might shape our far-future. It’s a finalist for the Himal Fiction Fest 2025 and available to read on their website!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Clarkesworld Magazine is an American online science fiction and fantasy magazine known for publishing short stories by authors such as Elizabeth Bear, Kij Johnson, and Caitlín R. Kiernan. The magazine has been praised for its high-quality content and diverse range of stories, but has also faced criticism for publishing AI-generated stories. FALSE
Seriously Google? How does your "AI" get "but has also faced criticism for publishing AI-generated stories" from the countless news stories written about us NOT WANTING GENERATED STORIES and actively fighting against them. Oh wait, it's not actually intelligent, is it? Just bullshit all the way down
Shown is a graphic that has a background of a mountainous landscape, seen through clouds. In the middle is an old book with the pages open and a river spilling out. On the top right and left is the BFS logo, a black dragon design curling around the letters ‘BFS’.

BFS Online: Worldbuilding is taking place Saturday 5th April 2025.
We have six readings from a range of authors – fantasy, science fiction and horror – to help you find your next book (or add to that beautiful TBR pile).
